Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Strategy, Targets, Achievements and Future Progress: IDA Ireland

Mr. Martin Shanahan:

I am answering the Deputy's question. We had no role in procuring ventilators. The job of procuring ventilators is the HSE's. Our job was to make contacts. We reached out to companies which we knew could supply those. Some companies also approached the IDA and the HSE about ventilators.
